On the point that has been made about delivering it as quickly as possible, I urge the NTA to do everything it can - quarter 1 runs to the end of March - and bring March delivery back to January, or bring January back to December, November or October.
A point was made earlier about school transport services and the opportunity for scheduled services to complement or substitute for them. I raise the case of Stamullen in east Meath again, which I raised with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, a few weeks ago. Some students there have been left behind because of the strict eligibility criteria for the school transport service. There is a scheduled service in the area, but they do not marry up as well as they might. Will there be an opportunity to look at that again for September 2024? Will the NTA look at it?
